Official: [Cindy]Sheehan to Oppose Pelosi
Newsmax ^ | August 9, 2008 | Staff

Posted on 08/10/2008 7:43:34 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

A year to the date exactly after formally announcing her intention to challenge Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi for her seat in California's 8th district, Cindy Sheehan is officially on the ballot as a "Decline to State" candidate.

In order to qualify as an "Decline to State" candidate Sheehan was required to submit 10,198 signatures from registered voters in the district by August 8th, 2008; Sheehan's campaign collected close the double the amount of signatures needed and qualified before the deadline.

"Getting on the ballot is just the first victory for our campaign," says Sheehan.

"I am even more convinced now than I was a year ago that the people of San Francisco are ready to lead the way to step outside of the dated two-party system and elect someone who truly represents San Francisco values, not party loyalties and criminal activities."

"In a recent interview Nancy Pelosi admitted she couldn't even name a crime that the Bush administration has committed, by the end of this campaign she'll be well versed in all of them, even the ones she's complicit in."

You've got to be pretty "far out" to run against Nancy Pelosi from the LEFT! Her candidacy could be an embarrassment to Queen Nancy, though...

My money is on Shehag. Pelosi didn’t end the war in Iraq so she is obviously a neocon. She also took impeachment off the table. A definite no-no for SF loons.

Thereby proving that like animals, stupid people tend to concentrate and act in a herd-like mentality.

I have a feeling it will be a good investment this fall. Starting with the Democrat convention. And the Democrats were supposed to walk away with everything! What a laugh.

Pelosi is in her own reality and would hardly notice Sheehan.

Yep, this is great. Pelosi will dig in her heels even more on drilling. She has been acting scared of a challenge from the left this entire year.

So the San Franciscans get to vote for a kook or a kookier kook? Deciding which one is kookier (read: their most desirable candidate) may take some violent protesting.

I sure hate seeing the party of peace and tolerance acting like this. < / sarcasm>

Wow - this is only the SECOND story I’ve seen about her since Sheehan decided to run against Madame Pelosi.

Remember when Sheehan was the lead story every other day?

That’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen: A city full of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) graphic artists and computer programmers, and that’s the best they could do?! OMG!

“...elect someone who truly represents San Francisco values,...”

Will someone tell me what ‘values’ is she talking about?

I took a stroll with some ultra lib-Demcratic friends from out of town through part of Rep. Pelosi’s district in SF.

They were horrified by the Socialist misery of the place. Druggies, grifters, welfare queens, homeless, tons of illegals enjoying “sactuary”, and plenty of screaming, obnoxious drunk people on the verge of blows at every moment.

It was like a bad movie. And Ms. Nancy wishes that upon all of us, in every city. I had to admit, it was worse than I remembered, but I think the point was lost on them anyway, as we fled the horrid sights and smells of the place.

If any district could elect Cindy Sheehan, it’s that place.

"Will someone tell me what ‘values’ is she talking about?"

Banning the military from the city, free heroin needles, legalizing drugs & prostitution, closing down Christian churches, publicly-funded bathhouses and condoms, $20/hr. minimum wage, sanctuary city, etc...

If that’s the crowd that signed her petition they must have signed multiple times...

Only if that "boost" consists of strapping her down to a Delta IV rocket.

Does it matter which hag wins here? Just as long as it is a bloody fight.

You're right--strap a few more moonbat libs to it until it's closer to payload limit.
